So Ikare below is a rural settlement be sure of what you are saying

How many banks, eateries,club house,hotels are in ikare....you will notice that most residents of those places are predominantly farmers

Oxtonguy:

Brother.... this list was carefully sorted out.....ondo still fit into the position of no 15 when compared to other state.

Oxtonguy:

Y do you like arguing unnecessarily..... showing one or two building and a road makes a place urbanized

mandarin:
Lets correct some notion of urbanization here, just as @op said, areas with urban population.ok
As someone who has transversed many states, I will say the op has a shallow idea of Nigeria. Let me just add these for the sake of education;
Owo town is in Ondo state and that state by Nigeria standard has Akure, Ondo, Ikare, Oka, and Okitipupa as cities though moderately.
Most northern states have at least two large cities but Kaduna has at least three to include Zaria,and Kafanchan. Niger state has Bida, Suleja alongside Minna.
Also, by the op's standard then the overflow from Abuja will give Nasarawa like three cities.
When urbanization is defined around cityscape and economy, then Ibadan, with such a large urban area will give Oyo state a better rating than 34 states beside Lagos and FCT because Ogbomoso, Shaki, Iseyin, and Oyo township are also urban areas.
The overflow from Lagos place Ogun state well with Sagamu, Abeokuta, Ijebu Ode, Ijebu Igbo and even Ikenne.
It will be wrong to call some urban settlements rural because you didn't grade those cities to classes and, you didn't give us measurable qualities to distinguish them.

most of the places you are calling town in North and ondo state are just rural settlement...they live closely together ...
How many banks are located in those places..how many industries, eateries and other amenties are in those area

princdebola201:
stop ranting my guy I ask simple question how many industrial estate do rivers state host??

Only transamdi alone host close to 500 industries both multinational and contracting company...

All the water fronts in river state are been occupied by multinationals...

Bonny along host the giant NLNG and other gas contracting companies..

Abuloma host Nestoil, ibeto, conoil,fortoil,oando etc

Abonima host seplast, berger Hughes,belemaoil etc

Buguma ,soku and kula waterside host multinational like slumberger,weatherfood, etc..

Onne hosting INTELS and close to a 1000 oil firms

princdebola201:
Ogun has overtake Lagos even igbo Jews Hero Gej attest to this

only NLNG and SHELL will swallow all those industries in Ogun state....

The reason why rivers state is not always mentioned when it comes to industrialized state...is just because the products obtained is homogenous...ie Crude oil.....

But you can not take away the fact that oil exploration goes along with so many industries....

slivertongue:
did you do a comprehensive study of 36 states before choosing the top ten?

Yes...of course I did

princdebola201:
ignorance at it's peak.

How many industrial estate do rivers host compare to Lagos, cos the last time I check Ogun state has over take Lagos as the most industrialised state in nigeria

Are you ok?....comparing rivers and Ogun...I ask again,..are you OK?...
Only nestoil and ibeto base in abuloma will swallow all the industries in Ogun state

Hopeful20100:
In terms of cities in Nigeria, Enugu city is my number one best city. However as a state, in terms of development of all major towns, I wouldn't put it in top 10. Who knows Nnsuka? All people know is Enugu city. It's more like Rivers with only Port Harcourt.

Rivers has omoku, bori,abonima,bonny,Oyibo,elements,buguma etc...tell me the LGA that is not developed in Rivers state aside ahoada west and gokana

Klinee:
Guy no matter how big portharcourt is you can never compare Rivers State and Anambra State. portharcourt is not up to 3% of Rivers land mass even if it is up to 5%, the rest 95% of land mass still contain many typical urbanised village which is not like that in Anambra.

Aside the places I mentioned...ahoada west and gokana LGA..were again is rural...try and travel...

OAUTemitayo:
Now I know you people don't know what you are talking about.
Are you counting oil rigs as industries?
Nawao

Are what I mentioned rigs or industries....
Are INTELS, NLNG, SHELL and co rigs

slivertongue:
on point
osun not in the first 20.kaduna sud be in first 10

I don't get you?

mention the industries in Kaduna as to compare with OSUN......popular industries and not mushrooms

wristbangle:
I don't it is. The media went agog few months ago even still treading till now about Anambra achievement.

In SE region, Enugu remains the underrated state.

Underrated how?

raker300:
Op, enugu should be on that list

Study the thread very well....you will see Enugu occupying the 11th position...

Klinee:
Anambra should be after Lagos, remove portharcourt which city again exist in Rivers State, sentiment apart.

Like I said, portharcout is very large,places like Oyibo, bori,buguma,abonima,bonny,omoku are also urbanized

FKO81:
Osun over Delta, Edo, Kogi, Kaduna Some will sit in their comfort zones and compiling rubbish

List one industry in those state you mentioned..... popular and not mushrooms like the aluminium industries in asaba

igbodefender:
Your comment on Abia State is just off. The Chinese started by counterfeiting. Today they have greater capacity and now export Chinese indigenous brands. The same it will be for Aba.

if you read my post very well, you will know that I am not against counterfeiting....


Read the last statement on ABIA state again....

OAUTemitayo:
Rivers before Ogun state?
Ignorance of the highest order.
Abi you are mistaking number of cults for industrialization?
Oniyeye

Only shell,agip,chevron,NLNG,INTELs will swallow all the industries in Ogun state.

Oxtonguy:
Not in a position to do it, never mind anyway I can be the governor of your Anambra state, hope you are receptive enough to welcome me as a Yoruba boy

Definitely, I believe the Anambarians will vote you....Yoruba and Igbo's are the best of friends and are fond of each other...forget nairaland rants....Ask yourself, y have this two tribe not engaged in physical battle unlike the northerners...like I said, forget nairaland rant....all those nonsense start and end on nairaland....Don't be surprise that some of this nairaland tribalist are inter married.......
Their wife will be in the kitchen and the husband is in the sitting room insulting the wife's tribe on nairaland...

Tyche:
Bro, there are a lot, I mean a lot of industries in Kaduna more than some states on there, ask around

Mention them, so that adjustment can be made on the list

Oxtonguy:
That's facts not trash

Atleast as a Nigerian, you can help in curbing the menace

Tyche:
Put Kaduna there my friend

sorry ,but it is a list of 10...ok.,I think it will fit into
(11)KADUNA STATE.....Peugeot assembly plant is located in this state

Oxtonguy:
Anambra can't control it growing population, everywhere looks frailty and dirty

Please don't bring in this trash here....argue sensibly

Hopeful20100:
Anambra remains the most underrated state in Nigeria. I don't know of a state that boast of 3 power house cities of Onitsha, Awka and Nnewi.

It is the truth.... but a state like Rivers tend to form a mega city instead of splitting it...a place like eleme ,Oyibo are large enough to form a city on their own but are captured with the with ever increasing population of porthacout

This is the list of the 10 most industrialized states in Nigeria....... in order of hierarchy...

(1)LAGOS.....Eko ni baje oh....this is the melting point of all commercial and industrial activities in Nigeria....All industries located in Nigeria has their headquarters in Lagos..This state harbour the highest number of industries in Nigeria....

(4)ANAMBRA STATE.....light of the nation, This is made possible by the industrious nature of the indegenes...The unrelented and industrious indigenes place the state on the this position...The state of the rising sun harbours giant industries like interfact, innoson motors, life breweries,ibeto auto batteries, cosharis, cutix cable etc.

(5) ABIA STATE......The Aba made....this state has the 5th highest number of industries but is the 1st most industrialized state when it comes to counterfeits, because they replicate and duplicate any goods/items that is known to man...every goods produced in China has its second hand at Aba....those guys are wonderful and are arguably the pride of Nigeria when it comes to human intelligence..

(6) ENUGU STATE.....042....This state is a silient achiever... Giant industries like the Nigeria brewery, innoson plastics manufacturing, Ammco motors(manufacturers of Mercedes truck), peace vehicle assembly plant etc are all domiciled in Enugu state.

TheTrueSeeker:
Stopped reading when I got to No 4
You referred to Abuja as a state? You are obviously not in Nigeria...!!!

I assume it as a state for the ease of comparism

Dolypson04:
Trash.... Who conducted the survey? Where are the statistics?

Travel and see because travelling is part of education....just in 2017....I have spent a whooping sum of #700k traveling around nigeria

izuoguboy:
op their is a relation between population density and and urbanisation. States with higher population density aught t be more urbanised provided otherwise things remains equal thus says my urban and regional geography. did u subject ur ratings to that theory or you only did the practical.

I subjected it to the theory of population density, the commercial nature of the town and also the infrastructure in place

The above list can closely be followed by .....

(11)ENUGU STATE.....the ever increasing population growth of the coal city is running into more LGA around Enugu north and south LGA....places like Awgwu,nith mile, orji river,emene etc are becoming urbanized... and do to the current infrastructural upgrade of Nzukka...the town is capturing more LGA due to the economic activities....

(12)OSUN STATE.....This state is also Urbanized considering places like ile ife, Ilesha, owo and Oshogbo....aside Oshogbo most of this places are urbanized but rural in nature...places like Ilesha and owo..

(13)EDO STATE.....okada and Benin are highly urbanized areas and are very large capturing many LGA.

(14)KADUNA STATE

(15)ONDO STATE

(16)BAYELSA STATE

(17)PLATEAU STATE

(18) CROSS RIVER STATE

(19)BENUE STATE STATE

(20)EBONY STATE

(21)EKITI STATE

(22)BORNO STATE

(21) KWARA STATE

(22) KOGI STATE

This is the list of the 10 most urbanized states in nigeria....in order of hierarchy...

(1)LAGOS STATE.........This is generally known to be the most urbanized state in Nigeria...All the local govt in Lagos state are all urbanized...lagos also have the highest number of commercial banks and industries in Nigeria...

(2)RIVERS STATE......Some person may want to argue this....but it is nothing but the truth....Due to the diverse ethnic group in rivers state, everybody tend to dominate its territory... making most local govt urbanised except ahoada west and gokana....it is the second most urbanized state in Nigeria and also took the 3rd position in the concentration of commercial banks and industries mostly oil industries..

(3)ANAMBRA STATE........This state is said to have the highest number of industrious indigenes....it is the 3rd most urbanized state in Nigeria...the state is developed due to the industrious nature of the indegienes...most LGA are urbanized except Anambra west and some part of the Anambra east,orumba south excluding umunze and ufuma....This state took the 4th position in the concentration of commercial banks and indigenous industries after Lagos,abuja and rivers.....

(4)ABUJA.....This is the centre of unity and is the 4th most urbanized state in Nigeria.... aside areas that harbours the federal parastatics ..other region are said to be rural and abandoned...This state has the 2nd highest number of commercial banks....

(5)IMO STATE.......Some persons do not actually know much about this state.....But it is in the best statues to occupy the 5th position....Due to the geographical position of IMO state ,it is the only state in the whole of nigeria minus Lagos that do not have a dense and extreme rural area...every community is a neighbouring town to a south south or south east state, which are always economically bouyant...The state is in the middle of south south and south east....their is no hitherto land or region in this state..

(6)OGUN STATE.....This state is arguably taking the sixth position... Due to its proximity to Lagos...the overflow of the Lagos population lives in ogun state...aside Abeokuta, places like mowe,otta,sagamu are highly urbanized...but most LGA are rural....and it has the highest number of industries in Nigeria, but mostly owned by foreigners......

(7) OYO STATE.....This is the 7th most urbanized state in Nigeria.... it is unarguably having the largest city in west Africa.....but most part of the city are still rural in nature as a result of infrastructural deficit and absence of basic amenities.... places like Ibadan and ogbomosho are large and occupy most LGA in the state...but most of the LGA are still rural...

(DELTA STATE....This state is occupying the 8th position....it has a lot of urbanized areas occupying more than one local govt area.....places like asaba, warri, efurum etc are highly urbanized...

(9)ABIA STATE......so many people will be surprise to see this state occupying the 9th position....but it is the truth...Aside Aba and umuahia....other region and LGA are either a university town just like uturu....but even at that most lectures in ABSU are living in okigwe town, which is in IMO state....but the state still harbours a large number of commercial banks mostly in Aba....

(10)AKWAIBOM STATE......This state is occupying the 10th position just slightly ahead of KANO STATE, which is highly populated but not urbanized, aside Sabon gari, some part of kurna asabe...other regions and LGA are rural...Akwaibom state have urbanized places like eket, ikotepene, uyo ikot abasi.....

I have traveled to most state in Nigeria... and I can comfortably attest to the truth nature of this list....

BuT any counter opinion is allowed and will be considered with reasonably prove and argument.

Abagworo:
Explain and show similar culverts.

A sensitive answer to a Fool makes you foolish.....so ignore the ranting rat

Schematics:
Road users should be careful because this substandard culvert is capable of collapsing on motorists passing under it.

Foolishness is a description..... until you decide to practicalise it.....it now makes you a Fool
